Two 18 year old Arizona residents have been arrested at the Arizona-Mexico border, reports state.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said that they arrested the two teens near Rio Rico after they reportedly saw people coming from out of bushes and placing packages in the truck. The truck was stopped, and 57 packages of drugs were found inside, which consisted of smuggled methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin, the Border Patrol said.
Daniel Hernandez, a Border Patrol Agent state, "We've gotten larger seizures, but this one no doubt is sizable, and it is significant, the street value is pretty high."
The names of the two teens have not been released, but they were identified as the driver and passenger of the vehicle with the smuggled narcotics and have been in custody of the Drug Enforcement Administration to face federal charges.
As for the people seen transporting the narcotics from the brushes to the vehicle, they have not been found.
